1965 Map of Prairie City
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Prairie City serves as the primary hub of this mid-1960s Iowa landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line through the townships of Washington, Mound Prairie, and Des Moines. The map documents a significant transformation of the local geography at the southern edge, where the Lake Red Rock reservoir is established, marking the boundary between Jasper Co and Marion Co. This era of development is further highlighted by a highway marked as Under Construction through Fairview.
